For the benefit of those of us who have not followed Wine and Crossover for a while...

Can someone give us a bottom line with respect to, say, the ability to run MS Office applications via Wine? With/without Crossover's product?




I have Office 365 running flawlessly with the most recent version of Crossover on Ubuntu 20.10.

The installation process seemed to fail after what felt like an hour - but the whole suite of apps just worked after a reboot - no fiddling required.


What is "Office 365"? Do you mean Office 16.0, released in 2019, or a different version?

Also - did you need to reboot your Linux host machine or perform some form of a "Wine layer reboot"?


Office 365 is a subscription service. With it you get a rolling release of Office.

I rebooted the whole PC - not sure if the Wine layer specifically would have been sufficient.
